Listed Building Refurbishment in Edgware.
Listed houses reward care and punish shortcuts. We have refurbished Grade I listed houses on the Regent's Park terraces and Grade II houses across central London, and the approach is the same each time: understand what is significant about the building, design interventions that are reversible and well detailed, and secure listed building consent before work starts.
In practice that means new kitchens and bathrooms that do not damage historic fabric, services run in existing voids, sash windows repaired rather than replaced, and plasterwork, joinery and floors restored by trades who work on listed buildings every week. Modern comfort and a historic interior are not in conflict if the detailing is right.
For a property in Edgware we check the National Heritage List and the conservation area maps published by the London Borough of Barnet and London Borough of Harrow at the first visit, explain exactly what is protected, and prepare the heritage statement, drawings and application. Conservation officers generally support schemes presented this way.

Edgware: the houses and the planning rules.
Edgware is the northern end of the Northern line and one of the most generously planned of the inter-war suburbs: wide avenues of 1930s detached and semi-detached houses, the larger homes around Canons Park and up towards Edgwarebury, and a town centre that is being rebuilt with new apartments.
The plots are wide enough for side extensions as well as rear ones, which opens up the whole ground floor, and the hipped roofs convert well. We do full refurbishments, double-storey extensions and lofts here, and the detached houses around Canons Park attract projects at the top of the suburban market.
The Edgware Conservation Area covers a small part of the old High Street and Canons Park; most streets are unrestricted.
Barnet and Harrow
Edgware straddles the two boroughs; Barnet covers most of it. Both allow most single-storey extensions and lofts under permitted development outside the conservation area.
Side extensions
Single-storey side extensions up to half the width of the house are usually permitted development; two-storey side extensions need a householder application.
Canons Park
Around Canons Park, the conservation area and protected trees affect what can be built and how close to the boundary.
Approvals for listed building refurbishment in Edgware.
Listed building consent is needed for most internal and external work to a listed house, and we prepare the heritage statement, drawings and application before work starts. Conservation areas add planning controls on the exterior even where the house is not listed.
